In-Person or virtual, thought-provoking, interactive workplace safety programs & youth presentations
Drop It And Drive® (DIAD) is a Traffic Injury Research Foundation (TIRF) education program focused on preventing distraction-related road user fatalities and injuries and increasing awareness of the risks of distraction in the workplace.
Distraction-related road user fatalities and injuries are fast overtaking all other forms of road-related deaths and injuries both on-the-job AND off-the-job.
Sponsor a youth presentation in your community
Corporate clients are offered the opportunity to sponsor a youth presentation in their community with programs available for all grades. Corporate clients are promoted as the presentation sponsor at no additional cost and are provided with a digital marketing image to promote their support of the youth event.
Clients are also recognized for their sponsorship during the school presentation and presented with a certificate of recognition. This helps create a community-based approach to road safety protecting the workforce, their younger family members and neighbours.
